Emancipatory Narratives &Â Enslaved Motherhood examines
three major currents in the historiography of Brazilian slavery:
manumission, miscegenation, and creolisation. It revisits themes
central to the history of slavery and race relations in Brazil,
updates the research about them, and revises interpretations of the
role of gender and reproduction within them. First, about the
preponderance of women and children in manumission; second, about
the association of black female mobility with intimate inter-racial
relations; third, about the racialised and gendered routes to freed
status; and fourth, about the legacies of West African female
socio-economic behaviours for modalities of family and freedom in
nineteenth-century Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. The central concern
within the book is how African and African descendant women
navigated enslaved motherhood and negotiated the divide between
enslavement and freedom for themselves and their children. The book
is, therefore, organised around the subject position of the
enslaved mother and the reproduction of her children in
enslavement, while the condition of enslaved motherhood is examined
through overlapping historical praxis evidenced in
nineteenth-century Bahia: contested freedom, racialised mothering,
and competing maternal interests - biological, ritual, surrogate.
The point at which these interests converged historically was, it
is argued, a conflict over black female reproductive rights.

The East End of London, 1930. Work is scarce, food is in short
supply and there is political unrest on the streets. But in the
face of all this hardship, there's always friendship. Becky, Bernie
and Rose - three best friends from very different backgrounds - are
working hard to establish themselves in pre-war Spitalfields.
Becky, the daughter of a Jewish tailor, wants to become a nurse,
but her father has more traditional plans for her. Aching to leave
the East End and travel the world, Bernie feels trapped by her vast
family of poor Irish dock workers. And then there is Rose. Tiny and
thin, she lives with her drunken mother and a revolving selection
of surrogate fathers who exploit and brutalise them both. But at
least the girls have each other and, as Europe begins to drift
towards another war, their friendships become ever more crucial as
each one of them fights for their place in an ever-changing,
frightening, new world. One way or another, love will pull them
through . . .
